Gee Virginia, not EVERYONE knows how to shop?

Are you in the majority of men who find shopping to be:

a) tedious

b) frustrating

c) get me the hell outta here!

If this sounds like you, here are a few strategic tips to make the whole process easier. And right now, with sales in full swing and summer arrived it’s time! Ready?:-)

1. Timing: don’t shop on the weekends after 11:30 am or before 7 pm. Basically, don’t shop on major holidays or the weekends. Your time, effort and energy are more valuable than that, and you are setting yourself up for (see above) the a) then the b) that leads to the c). Take half a day off, shop in the morning of a weekday. Your business really will survive without you that half day, and the quality of what you will come home with will far make up for it.

2. Use a store credit card to pay: Resistant to that you say? Don’t want the hassle of an extra bill to pay? HA! Guess what? When you use a store card your purchases are recorded a) in case you lose the sales slip b) they mail you very significant coupons and discounts and c) you can immediately, standing right there, pay the just charged balance with your debit card. So there is NO bill that comes. If you have a walloping purchase, sure use your credit card and get the miles, but normal purchases use your store card and pay it right off at the cash register.

3) Be prepared ahead of time: Just like you wouldn’t walk into an appliance store without knowing the features you were looking for, this is no different for often just about the same amount of money. At home take a moment and look at your wardrobe. Jot down the items that are ready to be replaced, and strategize if there are colors or pieces that would help you draw your existing clothing together easier.

4) Walk right to where you want to be: The escalator goes down to the lower level of Macy’s and there is a SEA of men’s clothing. Where in God’s name do you begin? Actually it is more organized than it looks. Right up front is the hot, most recent, most expensive designer items. If you are young, slim and hip check it out, otherwise move on. To one side is Young Men’s and urban looking clothing. Easy to spot, listen for the pulsing music. To the rear on one side is suits, shirts and ties. Head there if that is on your list. Sales persons are readily available in this area. To the rear on the other side is shoes, belts, and accessories. In the middle is good to medium-quality normal clothes.

Each mainstream designer will have an area, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Alfani, Inc, Izod, Columbia, Nautica and Tommy Bahama to name a few. And within each designer area are items on sale, or a sale rack. Peruse or ignore as you wish. Then you will notice that there will be an area of off-names that are less expensive. I always lead toward buying the quality stuff on sale, than the lesser goods. They will have a superior fit, and will hold up better with wear.

If these strategies don’t convince you to give it a try, your next option is to choose a smaller shop. Outlets are good for distilling down options to one designer per store – however don’t be fooled – many times outlet merchandise is “outlet quality”. It is made of less expensive goods and of less expensive construction techniques just for the outlet.

If you are a professional man determined to make the most monetary gain by your efforts, or a man who has recently re-entered the dating world you are on the cusp of doing something for yourself that will be more fun, socially and financially rewarding than you may have done in a long time! How? Image Consulting is the conscious and skilled management of your best calling card – yourself! Knowledge is power, right? Connecting the elements of grooming, clothing and body language with your message and personal goals is what multiplies your success rate – anywhere and everywhere – on a date or in the boardroom.

Trained at the prestigious Image Resource Center of New York and Certified by the Association of Image Consultants International, I am a unique provider to men. I have past years of corporate business experience as well as high-end haberdashery retail and fitting experience to make me the menswear specialist. Additionally, I work directly with an upscale dating service and have training in Date Coaching as well as a degree in Sociology.

My mission statement is to significantly improve each client’s personal and professional experiences, using tools and concepts he may have never known existed, but will employ for life.
